if you have a leak in your box, ime, it will sound like port noise or a fluttering fuzz/buzz sound

i doubt thats what you hear, esp using 1000 watts with a spec box

bet your sub will reach full output with around 700 or 800 watts in that box

and i think the Q was in 2.2 ported, in the 12" test

sucks that you did foam, cause you could take the box/sub out and play it, the noise could be the car/install

You think I am over powering the sub? Hell I turned most the gain down on it and it still did it. So I dont know how it could be that.

what makes you think im smoking crack? its in a sealed box, "foamed in" or not, its probably not going to get too loud

how much can you make it move before you hear anything weird

does it look like its movin 2" peak to peak or like a half an inch

if its barely moving, try another sub like you said, or does anyone have any wood sittin around, you could build another sealed box and see if it still sounds bad

just thinkin out loud

Take the sub out seal the box with silicone let it drie over night. Put the sub in and make sure you tighten it down good and face it to the rear of the car. That might be the problem if its not you have something wrong with the install or the sub email FI and see what they say the sub could be defective.

which VC do you have and check the coils with a DMM> How do you have the sub wired check that. You could be runnin the one coil

it s\could be something vibrateing suppose? play test tones @ medium volume, when the 'noise starts put that tone on repeat and get in the back and fnd out where EXACTLY the sound is comeing from, maybe the cone is tappng the back of the seat or smething in on the rear shealf 'sounds' like overexcursion?

I will have them take it out and check it to make sure. It is supposed to be a d2 so my amp can run down to 1ohm.

Seats fold down, plus I have had my head right next too it and still cant figure it out. Actually sounds cleaner when I am closer. It might be the box is not deep enough. Is 10deep, so that is only allowing me 3 inches, which should be enough. I hope.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i think your expecting too much from a sealed box
